UPDATE:
lets see i had to remove the entire foreground. it was HC 2.5in thick, was gonna trim it but i was afraid it was gonna yellow out and die so i replanted. i had to leave the stellatus about 1 inch higher in the back cause its a slow grower. and i trimmed the hairgrass cause it was getting outta hand. the crypts got a couple leaves removed but nothing serious.

well let me know what you think. Enjoy!!!
